## Competitive Landscape
* Splatica redefines facility intelligence against hardware-bound leaders like Xgrids Lixel L2 Pro and Matterport Pro3.
* Focus: Continuous mapping for Enterprise AEC Teams.

## The Challenge with Legacy Digital Twins
* Hardware-Bound: Limited by trained operators and specific devices.
* Point-in-Time: Facilities drift from their digital representation between scan campaigns.
* Operationally Inert: Data doesn't update or understand objects automatically.

## Market Map: Continuous Software-Only
* Splatica occupies the 'Continuous + Software-Only' quadrant.
* Utilizes existing hardware (phones, 360 cameras, drones) rather than proprietary LiDAR hardware.

## Competitor Analysis: Xgrids Lixel L2 Pro
* Specs: Handheld SLAM, LiDAR, ±1–2 cm accuracy.
* Weakness: One device per operator, no continuous update model, lacks semantics.

## Competitor Analysis: Matterport Pro3
* Specs: Tripod-mounted, 134.2 MP panoramic, enterprise SaaS.
* Weakness: Designed for property tours/real estate rather than industrial operations; no live semantic updates.

## Comparison: Five Dimensions
* **Equipment**: Splatica uses existing hardware (CCTV, phones) vs tens of thousands in proprietary hardware.
* **Contributors**: Anyone with a phone vs one trained operator.
* **Refresh**: Continuous delta updates vs monthly scan campaigns.
* **Asset Structure**: Segmented objects and OpenUSD/PhysX vs point clouds and OBJs.

## Why Splatica
* Zero New Hardware: Deploy with existing infrastructure.
* Semantic + Physics-Ready: Objects are labeled and segmented for robotics and automation.
* API-First: Embeddable viewers and open integrations.
